"The only things they can do is (1)repossess according to your contract..."

No state in the US has debtors prisons. The only things they can do is (1)repossess according to your contract. (Each state has its rules and regulations about repossession. If you have internet access go to your state legislature website and look up the statute regarding repossession.) and/or (2) turn you in to the credit reporting agencies which could hurt your credit rating.

No they will make threats and harrass you. I had a washer and dryer from them. I lost my job couldnt afford to keep it. But I did anyway because I needed my clothes washed. I still have that washer and dryer to this very day. No wages are garneshed and I also moved and changed my number though. Not that I was running from them but my lease was up at my residence. They aren`t suppose to involve the police because the police can`t do anything about that. But they will definatly try to scare you. Hope this helps.

Someone said: CENTRAL TEXAS, TX (KXXV) -
Most customers who rent furniture from a leasing company think falling behind or not making payments is no big deal, but guess again.
According to an affidavit, Brandy Moravec was arrested for theft of service. She had an agreement with Aaron`s Sale and Lease in Waco to rent a HP Laptop computer, 42`` TV, 3D TV, Sony PS3 game set and a Beats Audio Headset.
The agreement states Moravec would make monthly payments on the products, and if she stopped she knew charges would be filed.
A registered letter was sent to her last known address. The letter was returned unsigned and now Moravec has bigger problems.
In a statement released by Aaron`s, Inc., "Aaron`s provides everyday necessities through an affordable, lease ownership program. While we cannot comment on specific customer situations, Aaron`s goes above and beyond the call of customer service to willingly work with our customers, creating a mutually agreeable lease-to-own plan. Aaron`s is extremely flexible as we help our customers attain ownership of brand-name products. We work with our customers to create a regular payment plan and when they are not able to pay, we willingly pick up the product."
Waco Police Department sees about four to five cases a month like this one.
"They just stop paying it and won`t return it, or will move and the realty company won`t know when to contact them," said Sgt. Patrick Swanton, Public Information Officer for Waco Police Department. "They will send them a certified letter saying either bring it back to us or pay off or we are going to file. And if they don`t, we are going to file charges."
Some customers who rent products this way, are often not aware that criminal charges can be filed against them if they can`t or don`t make payments.
They usually think, if they stop making payments they can get away with it. One defense attorney told me that`s a misconception, and some leasing company`s will call authorities.
"For people who are wanting to get that nice couch and nice TV, these type of places are going to seem like a quick and easy way of doing it rather than saving up the money to get it done," said Seth Sutton, Attorney at Law."You are inviting a lot of potential problems. I recommend people saving up the money and buying it all at once."

"And won`t work with you when the payment is late..."

I have furniture from a company, and I fell on hard times and have been unable to make my payments. They call and harrass me, my job, and family members. They try to scare you, and won`t work with you when the payment is late. Calling and threatening me will not make me pay you any faster if I don`t have it. I don`t think they can lock you up for that.
